Step 3: Connect a Cluster

Checklist

• The agent has been successfully deployed, and all pods are running in a healthy state.

• The user has been successfully created with all required permissions.

Step 1: Connect a new cluster

Step 2: Fill in cluster details

Each vendor has a slightly different connection approach

Confluent Cloud / AWS MSK / Aiven

Automatic cluster discovery will initiate once an API key is provided. Metrics will be collected via the vendor API.

Redpanda / Apache (Self-hosted)

No automatic cluster discovery. Each cluster should be added manually. To enable metric collection in Superstream, a JMX connection must also be configured.

Step 3: Verify that all discovered or added clusters are in a healthy state

When clusters are added or discovered, the system may surface warnings related to permissions or network connectivity. It’s recommended to resolve these promptly to ensure proper functionality.
